The Experience

Perched high above the already perched village of Lioux, the house faces the dizzyingly sheer cliff that rises behind the village; beyond are the Lubéron hills and the Alpilles. Sit and gaze from the sitting-room terrace and fall in love with the views. This is an independent farmhouse (18th-century, with thick walls for winter warmth and summer cool) that has been renovated with care, taste and imagination – even the lighting is original. Inside is a harmony of old timbers, working fireplaces, polished wood, white walls, rosy tiles. There are peaceful colour schemes, comfortable contemporary furniture, the occasional well-chosen antique and some definitely good modern paintings. Sleep happens in one fine big bedroom (more views) and two simpler smaller ones, ablutions in two modern bathrooms and communal things in the gorgeous kitchen, wonderful for family gatherings. A stream murmurs through the fountain in the generous terraced gardens, the pool lies discreetly low, the Lubéron regional park is all around and your literary landlords, who live next door, are delightful.

Reviews

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Jürgen Kreuzhage

There are libraries full with books on the highlights of PROVENCE, one of the most beautiful regions of France. All within easy reach. Among the "musts" Avignon, Les Baux, Fontaine- de-Vaucluse, le Luberon, les Gorges de la Nesque, Arles, Nimes etc., et

All year round one can visit the local markets and enjoy the dealing, wheeling on the streets, buying fresh fruits and vegetables and thousands of other offers. Amongst the nicest is the Marché d'Apt, every Saturday of the year until noon. Great fun.

The village of Lioux is dominated by a hugh rock, the Falaise de Lioux. Every visitor must atleast once be walking along this rock and enjoy the sight. It takes but an hour, maybe two; every step is worth it. Strongly recommended.

If you appreciate a good wine do not miss to visit the local wine producers for a taste of their specialities. Rarely you will be disappointed. Also fun: trying the different restaurants and finding one's preferences. Hear the advice from the owners.
